Eyelid Tattoo — UPDATE!

So hey! This week’s super-sexy controversy centered on this “permanent eye shadow” tattoo, which got lots of people in a huff, for various reasons. Well, here’s an update, which I gives a bit better of an idea about the end result of the work. At the very least, this should probably dissuade the “that looks like a bruise” contingent. Another smiley shot, after the jump.

Why not out put on make up on like everyone else?
Why get huge chest pieces when you can draw them on?
Why stretch your ears or pierce you lip or bead your genitals?
Because you want to and can. The permanence means more that just throwing on eyeliner.

I like this a lot. I’m not so much a fan of the stuff on the side of his face though.

Ugh 15s comment is so stupid. -__-
Anyway I agree with everyone else; this looks 100% better. I actually like it. :) the colors look much different so i assume the tats just weren’t finished. Where’s a picture with both eyes open mann !

Whoah! My brother with a lazy eye should take a look into this one. He’s always looking for ways to make his lazy peeper become more of an accessory instead of a liability. Whatever that means!? Seriously, this is one crazy tattoo!

Haha people worried about the same color eye shadow and make up and all this broohaha…

Has no one heard of concealer? Even tattoos are coverable with derma-blend. And as for the “I don’t want the same color every day” …conceal, then put a new color on. Not hard. Take a look at Bronte’s pictures, she covered her facial tattoos with makeup and looked just fine.

Did a bunch of trolls hop on this post or has ModBlog changed? Whatever happened to supporting each other–or at the very least, if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all?

This may not be something I’d ever do to myself (neither is genital mutilation/modification), but I highly respect the decision to take control and rock your own body. I think the colors are gorgeous, the idea is unique, and the wearer has an awesome smile. Thanks for sharing your pics with us and keep being you!

Izzy- if we followed the old “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all” rule, the world wouldn’t evolve! I don’t understand why anyone should have to censor their thoughts just so the mod community won’t deem them as judgemental.

I hope all heals well for him, he looks so proud to be the wearer of this tattoo. On another note, you people have got to be some of the most ignorant people I’ve ever encountered in a “community”. I’ve never heard so many rude comments thrown at someone for doing something that they are obviously very proud of. Way to go BME!!

I agree, he certainly has balls to do this. I would NEVER tattoo my eyelids simply because I’d be so so terrified. It’s such a delicate spot.

I think these look fantastic. The make up junkie in me thinks he could mix this up nicely with a sheer pale pink eyeshadow (to make it slightly purple) or white for more shimmer. Ohhhh the possibilities…

pretty cool…I wonder what that felt like, I mean, I assume that’s a rather sensitive patch of skin to tattoo. I know that for me, each new part of my body that I’ve tattooed has been its own unique experience.

p.s. Jesus CHRIST you people are judgmental! I’m appalled. The entire WORLD spends every ounce of their effort trying to oppress and judge the modified community, and here you are doing it to yourselves? You’re ignorant, just like them. Only difference is you’re hypocrites.

I try to say something positive, I don’t really care for it as a piece I would have but it looks lovely now that it is lighter looking. Before it was rather dark. He looks rather friendly and seems to be enjoying the work so yay for him :D

Now I’m starting to think about permanent eye liner and if this guy can do a whole lid I’m sure I can deal with a thin line.

Wow there are some snarky ass comments here,It looks pretty cool,not something I would do but still cool.
Considering how much modified people get stared at and have rude comments made about them,its funny that they turn around and say the same to another modified person.I could understand if it was a poor quality/shitty tattoo but this? haha

Hey guys.
I just thought I’d comment on the “is it okay to say mean things about somebody’s photo on modblog” debate that is interjecting itself into this thread.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is not intended to be a place of unkindness. It is supposed to be a space of support and community. While this is not the way that life is outside of this space (people are cruel, judgemental, etc), that does not mean that everywhere ought to be a mirror of this injustice. If you were at dinner with your grandmother and she was wearing a dress that you thought was hideous, would you say so? Or would you keep that thought to yourself, recognizing that everybody has the right to put whatever they like on their body? In the case of tattoos and other permanent modifications, unsupportive comments should be kept to yourself even more, because it is too late to change anything. Remember that the people in these pictures are probably reading your comments. I somehow doubt that if you were face to face with them you would say things like “looks retarded”, “fucking ugly dude”. Of course, why would you? It’s not like their mods directly affect you in some way.

So yeah, you have the right to think and say pretty well anything. But sometimes, in some spaces, saying certain things are just putting more negativity into the world and undermining the whole idea of safe and respectful community.

I like this, I think it is completely able to be covered with foundation such as dermablend or even added to with other eyeshadow etc. It’s not as if he’s confined to one make up style the rest of the guys life. Eitherway he obviously chose a design he wouldn’t get sick of in a hurry!

I think it’s cute, he’s obviously happy with it, so who really fucking cares?
You’re allowed to have your opinion, you’re allowed to say what you believe and stick to it. At the end of day its up to you whether others opinions mean jackshit to you.

I don’t particularly give a shit when it comes to others opinions of my modifications, but I don’t shut people down if they want to talk about it.
